Review...Word Play by: Amalie Silver

5 stars! This was such a great book. I can't even express how much I truly enjoyed it. So funny and smart.Our H is a suspense/mystery writer who is pushed to write erotic romance because of the popularity of it. He writes under a pen name and before he knows it he is a bestseller. He feels like a sell out and becomes some what of a hermit drowning himself in alcohol and trying to write a requested series. When he is asked to go to a signing and convention everything changes.Our h is a top book blogger and after running into Michael/Christoph (H) at the convention they become somewhat nemesis. After a room mix up and finding themselves having to stay together in the same hotel room things begin to change with there rivalry. She is hiding a big secret and so is he. She soon figures out his, but will the mystery writer figure out her big mystery?I really can't write much more without giving things away. I loved the whole satire on writers, bloggers, and social media...hilarious. The interviews were great and I found myself laughing out loud while reading. It was a cleverly written book and I always love to see the flaws or someones inner geek in novels. The secondary characters were great too.I highly recommend.HEA (2)<<<click here if you want to know.

About Me

I am from a suburb of Detroit but have lived in Chicago since 2002. I am married with a six year old daughter and practice dental hygiene. It is very different raising a child in a city but we consider Chicago our home and are trying the best we can. I am a insomniac so instead of staring at a ceiling all night I read. I read about a book every 24-48 hours. I don't have time for an official book club but love to recommend and discuss the books I read. I also like getting recommendations so please recommend. I really try not to give a negative review, I feel people like what they like and just because I didn't care for a book doesn't mean I should put it down. If I don't like a book I'll simply go on to the next without criticism. In the case I'm given an ARC I review constructively without being harsh. My favorite books are definitely Romance...YA, NA, Woman's Fiction, Contemporary, Rom Com, Chick Lit, Erotica, Suspense, and some Paranormal. I also have read a lot of memoirs in the past. I love to support indie authors. I dabble a little in writing too.
